Re: [PATCH 2/2] mm: zero remaining unavailable struct pages

Hi Horiguchi-san and Pavel
Thank you for your comments!
The Pavel's additional patch looks good to me, so I will add it to this series.
However, unfortunately, the movable_node option has something wrong yet...
When I offline the memory which belongs to movable zone, I got the following
warning. I'm trying to debug it.
I try to describe the issue as following.
If you have any comments, please let me know.
WARNING: CPU: 156 PID: 25611 at mm/page_alloc.c:7730 has_unmovable_pages+0x1bf/0x200

I added a printk to catch the unmovable page.

- if (found > count)

goto unmovable;

Then I got the following. The page (PFN: 0x1c0ff130d) flag is
0xdfffffc0040048 (uptodate|active|swapbacked)

And I got the owner from /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner.

The page is allocated as anonymous page via page fault.
I'm not sure, but lru flag should be added to the page...?
Thanks,
Masa
